So from what I’ve looked up so far, I would need a reservation in going from Charles de Gaulle airport to Antwerp via Brussels, and in going from Antwerp to Amsterdam I would need a reservation in going on the higher-speed direct Thalys train but not on the lower-speed direct Intercity train (so long as I have some sort of Eurail pass). And going within Belgium or within the Netherlands I wouldn’t need to reserve (so long as I have some sort of Eurail pass). Sounds right?If I don’t have any pass whatsoever, I guess I would have to pay for a little rail trip for a day trip every single time I would do so? And thus a pass would spare me from such additional headaches?When I was using the “plan your trip” calculator for the itinerary that I’m interested in, I see that the budget price is $129 US and the economy price is $156 US. Is it worth it after all, the alternative being the headache to have to spend extra time ordering tickets each time I go on train rides?And is the generic Eurail
Sorry to sound stupid, as I really don’t go to Europe often, but is NMBS the name of the Belgian train company?You said there are faster and more expensive trains from France to Belgium, and then there are slower and cheaper trains on those same routes?And given that I’m 40 and thus not eligible for the junior or senior discounts, would the Benelux Pass be worth it after all?
Sorry that I forgot to mention my age. I’m 40.
